The deeds and the methods of the @placeholder president prove that he is right. | By Alan Roden, In Edinburgh and Will Stewart In Moscow Alex Salmond has been accused of a 'gross error of judgment', with his praise for Vladimir Putin yesterday condemned by Ukraine's leaders, Foreign Secretary William Hague and human rights campaigners. The First Minister is under intense pressure to apologise to the people of Ukraine after revealing that he admires Putin for restoring 'a substantial part of Russian pride'. In Kiev, Serhiy Sobolev, head of the Fatherland party, said he hopes that Mr Salmond 'never experiences what it is like to have death squadrons walking on his land'. Mr Hague told the Commons that people throughout the UK would be 'horrified' by the remarks, while other critics included former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell and Mr Salmond's proindependence Green allies.

@placeholder, who was also at the news conference, noted the high-profile names of some of those buried in the cemetery, but said, "everybody here is special, and every family has special needs and special hurt, special grief." | ALSIP, Illinois (CNN) -- Four people face felony charges after authorities discovered that hundreds of graves were dug up and allegedly resold at a historic African-American cemetery near Chicago, Illinois, authorities said Thursday. Dozens of graves at Burr Oak Cemetery were desecrated by workers as part of a financial scheme, authorities say. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said the four would resell the plots in Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, excavate the graves, dump the remains and pocket the cash. "This was not done in a very, very delicate way, folks," he told reporters at a news conference Thursday. "They would excavate a grave and would proceed to dump the remains wherever they found a place to do it in the back of the cemetery. This was not moving graves; this was not replacing graves; this was dumping of them."
